Xewpiiie, - JV Frank H. of 1432 Spruice treet, Philadelphia, vent on a gunriing expedition to North Carolina. His'uest fof game led him Into the wild 'country back of Salisbury, which is inhabited, for the most part, by a miserable race of' beings with only just enough energy to $ke out a wretched existence. These creatures are nearly all Veritable living skeletons, and with few exceptions are addicted to the habit of cfav eating. While shooting wild tyrkevs and other game in thi wild region, Or. Getch'ell made an incidental study of tins peculiar habit of vice among the inhabitants. ' It )s a mountainous country, nnj in the spring little rivulets start out' Irum the caps of snow on the mountain and as 'the days grow warmer, the little rivulets become torrents, and gfeat washouts are made along the mountain pde. The soil is ol a heavy, clayey nature, put there are strata of clay that is heavier than the rest, and when the water rushes down, tins clay is formed do pttle pellets and rolls and accumulates l, - in heaps in tlie valley. These little pel- lets and rolls are what the clav eaters devour with as much avidity as a toper '.swallows a glass yf vvjiiykey. Atyung the poor people of this section,! said L)r. Getchell, the habit of eating clay is almost universal. Even the halnt, Jittle toddlers are continued and the appetite seenjs to increase with time. While investigating the matter, ) entered a cabin occupied bv one of these poor families, and saw a lithe chab fied bv the ankle tu'the leg of a' table, on which was placed a big dish of biead and tyeat and potatoes wifhiu easy reach. The clujd was kicking and crying, and asked 1)IS mother why 'she had tied um up. .She replied that she wanted him to eat some food belore he went out'to the clay, and he refused to do so. ffhe wonjan confessed that she ate the clay herself, but explained that the philds health demanded that it eat some substantial food before eating any earth. 111 Almost every one I met in this section was addicted to this habit, 'jliey were all very thin, but their llesh seeinecj to This was particularly )ie pu.Ted out. poticeable about tlje eyes, which had a sort of reddish hue. All of the clayeaters were excessively Jazy and indolent, and all of these conditions conibmpd led me to the conclusion that there must be soiye sedativp or stimulating qualities, or both in the clay, and I determined to find out whether I consequently there was or pot brought a lot of clay home with me, and Professor Tiernan and myself made an analysis of the stuff, and discoveied that instead of clay eaters the inhabitants of central North Carolina should more properly be called arsenic eaters. AH of this clay contains arsenic, but exactly in w hat proportion we have not yet discovered. Arsenic eating is common pi many parts of the world, and is practiced to a greater or less extent throughout the world. It acts as a se4ative, and also as a stimulant. The mountaineers ofStyria, Austria, are habitual arsenic eaters. They give as their reason for eating it that they are better able to climb the mountains after eating the poison, and their explanation is a perfectly reasonable one, as arsenic acts as a sedative to the heaits action. The habit is also prevalent 111 the Tyrol and 111 the Alps. "It is also said that tl)p peasant girls of .Switzerland and paits of Germany and m Scandinavia eat arsenic tu give . luster to their eyes and color to their chveks; but this is a matter J have not investigated. It has been shown that arsenic or arsenical fumes are a sure cure for intermittent fever. The inhabitants of a section of Cornwall England, atone time sulleied with tins type ot feyer, but when the copper w,,rks weie established there the lever djsappeaitd. This was accounted tor by aisemcal fumes created in the treatment of copper.
